3. Get your Shit Done

Why are you still reading this? Go do your shit. As you get older, fewer people are gonna be willing to hold your hand. Don’t let your priorities and your work slide into the background just because some love-interest wants to take up all your time. Prioritize. Make your schedule work for you and don’t necessarily drop everything just because someone shows a little bit of interest in you.

That said; your homework can wait if that someone who is showing interest has a sandwich or a coffee for you, because that person is probably your soul mate.

In relationships, I so often fall into the background and let the other person take charge and let their feelings and tasks come first. First off, doing that doesn’t make you more attractive to the other person. Second of all, if you think you really have a shot at “forever” with this person, you should make sure you’re doing things that support future-you so you can build a really cool life for yourself and your partner. Also, don’t all those weird love articles always say to “play hard to get” or whatever?

You can basically do that with your schedule/career and be like, “Oh look how beautiful I am and efficient with my time. Let’s make out at 3:15 pm next Tuesday. Don’t be late.” Hot. I’d be down to make out with a lady like that. Come on.

Y’all, I think we’ve discovered that I might have a fetish for day planners and people who have no time for me.
